Amazing, when I first saw the mask I thought it was molded out of metal, I never would have guessed it was papier-mache, where did you learn how to make masks like this?

That's just rediculous! I just made a papier mache mask today and it looks like nothing even close to that! Great work! (Also, I know this was to a different person, but thanks for the sand paper advice, I'm deffinitely using that)

Really good work, wouldn't have known it was paper mache.
And may I ask, how did you achieve the metallic effect?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you!
The effect was achieved using a dry powdered gold pigment, which was then rubbed into the crackle glaze. The varnish was sprayed over the top which sealed the powder in.

Gorgeous. (:
I almost though it was made of actual metal until I read what you used for it.

Ohh, it owes so much to the latest fabulous Death Eater masks, but it still is totally its own invention and ornamentation. I love it!

It does indeed owe a lot to the lated Death Eater masks. I actually made three of these, of different designs - this was the most original, and was not intended for a Death Eater.
The other two were for Narcissa and Bellatrix. They were a lot closer to the masks from the film, which is why I have not posted them here - I cannot take any credit for the design. They were worn to the Waterstones Book 7 event in London, which was loads of fun!

I am not surprised you found them so inspiring. When I first saw the set on the WB web-page I was just blown away. They were so much better than the rotted skull things they had in the previous movie.
